When books, TV, and movies screw up gun stuff, especially things that could be easily looked up. Case in point: In the Stephen King Dark Tower book The Drawing of the Three, there’s a scene where Roland (who is controlling the body of Jack Mort), goes into a gun shop to buy ammunition. He looks through a catalog of cartridges and picks out “.45 Winchester” cartridges as appropriate for his trademark sandalwood-gripped revolvers. The only cartridge named “.45 Winchester” is the .45 Winchester Magnum, which is a lengthened-and-strengthened version of the .45 ACP released in 1979 for use only in semi-auto pistols. It wouldn’t fit revolvers. There are two old-west revolver cartridges that would be applicable. One is the .45 Colt, and the other is the .44-40 Winchester, also called the .44 WCF. Neither was ever called “.45 Winchester.”

Earlier this summer, I was a major resource for another person in my company, and basically made myself available any time I was needed to assist with system tasks and programming.

Now, I need to have a brief conversation with said person to get the go ahead to go through with a project I have a deadline on, and I can't get a response. It's literally like a 10 minute conversation, I am willing to do all of the manual work. Aggravating.

i will relegate all creative input in exchange for (2) of these devices--free with lifetime, hassle-free warranties. also, if you include any bonus gifts (such as a jar opener, magic bullet, etc), i get a couple of those as well.

I would also mandate that ron popeil be the one that sells your device--that dude has infomercial swag and class. hes the cartier of impulse purchasing.

Speaking of the facebook. In case anyone is interested about 4 or 5 people's kids I know did something or said something today not at all out of the ordinary of what any kid says or does every day. Facebook is invaluable.
